Practical experience using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, or similar) in your daily development workflow.\n\nHands-on experience building and maintaining high-quality web services using Python, with familiarity in additional languages such as TypeScript considered a plus.\n\nExperience building APIs and third-party integrations with distinct requirements. Solid understanding of batch processing, file-based data exchange (S3), and event-driven architectures.\n\nGood working knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS), containerization (Docker), CI/CD pipelines, relational databases (PostgreSQL), NoSQL databases (MongoDB), and data modeling.\n\nAbility to adapt to evolving requirements - you are comfortable working through product details with team members when specifications are not fully finalized.\n\nClear written and verbal communication skills; able to write concise technical documentation, explain design decisions, and discuss trade-offs with both technical and non-technical team members.\n\nProficiencies and Attributes:\nSolid problem-solving skills with the ability to break down user stories and technical tasks into well-structured solutions.\n\nGood communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain technical details clearly to both teammates and cross-functional partners.\n\nA collaborative mindset and active participation within an Agile development environment.\n\nSelf-motivated and reliable, with a clear sense of accountability for your assigned tasks and feature deliverables.\n\nAdaptable and open to learning, comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and adopting new tools and technologies as business needs evolve.\n\nComfortable using AI tools as part of your standard daily development workflow to write code, test, and improve productivity.\n\nWhy Cover Genius?\nAt Cover Genius, we create magic by turning the archaic into the extraordinary.
